The Lantern Community aims to provide a home life, fulfilling work, friendship, social interaction, opportunities for personal growth, adult education, cultural and spiritual inspiration for adults with a learning disability. This takes place in an intentional community which develops from the mutual support that each individual gives and receives.

Camphill's Mission Statement

"The world wide Camphill movement strives to create communities in which vulnerable children and adults - many with learning disabilities - can live, learn and work with others in healthy social relationships based on mutual care, support and respect. Camphill is inspired by Christian ideals as articulated by Rudolf Steiner. The Camphill Movement is based on the acceptance of the spiritual uniqueness of each human being, regardless of disability, or religious or racial background."
